If that does not work I will have to send it to be balanced.

If I had just pulled the Drive Shaft out and sent it to a Shop I would not have had a chance to lean anything from the experience.
What I said was not a dig at what you are doing, hope you didn`t take it that way. It cost me a little more in the route I took trying to cut some corners. I should have just sent in the original DL instead of dragging home the PNP DL. I ended up with more down time. I was replying as to what Shark said.
As you said, you wouldn`t have learned anything from the experience if you had just sent it in.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
